An alt tag is the HTML text that appears while an image is loading or when a cursor is positioned over an image. Alt text is useful in Search Engine Optimization because it can include keywords that a search engine looks for in response to a query.

Thanks :o

The term "ALT tag" is a common shorthand term used to refer to the ALT attribute within in the IMG tag. Any time you use an image, be sure to include an ALT tag or ALT text within the IMG tag. Doing so will provide a clear text alternative of the image for screen reader users.

Alt tags are associated with an image and, when implemented properly, accurately describe the image.

ALT tags are used as an alternative piece of text encase a user can't for some reason load or read the image on the webpage - then this text will appear. It's also good practice to implement target keywords in these tags because spiders can't read images - they read the ALT tags.

The required alt attribute determines a substitute content for a picture, if the picture can't be shown.

The alt trait gives elective data to a picture if a client for reasons unknown can't see it.

Hello Friends,

Please tell me what is ALT tag.

Google can't read images so in order to tell search engine what image is all about, Alt tag is used. It is recommended to use targeted keyword in the Alt tag, so that your website will rank in Google image search as well.

ALT labels are used as an alternative piece of written text encase a user can't for some reason fill or look at the picture on the web site - then this written text will appear. It's also sound practice to apply target search phrases in these labels because robots can't study pictures - they look at the ALT labels.
